The semi-annual Career Fair is a one-day recruiting event that provides a forum for cultivating and developing productive relationships between AUC graduates and the corporate world. It aims at integrating employers’ recruiting needs with the skills and qualifications of AUC graduates. The Fair gives participating companies an opportunity to build their image on campus among a qualified pool of AUC students and alumni.

As a leader in university career services in the Middle East, AUC initiated the Employment Fair in 1986, the first event of its kind in the region at the time. On average, more than 140 multinational and local corporations participate in the Employment Fair. Around 70% of participating companies are returning participants, having joined at least one of the previous Fairs.

Companies registered in the Fair are assigned booth in the new campus. As a guide for AUCians seeking employment, CAPS publishes an Employment Fair booklet which provides relevant information on the participating companies and the vacant positions. Corporate representatives are also encouraged to bring an ample supply of corporate material, such as brochures, annual reports, and application forms to be distributed to candidates. Interested students and alumni apply in person to company representatives at the Fair or as otherwise indicated in the Employment Fair booklet.
